Kids Connect Gold Coast 2007




The MAC1 Brisbane Education Team were heavily involved in supporting the third annual two day technology and learning conference Kids Connect. Kids Connect is organised by kids for kids from grades 6-8.

The Students of 7O at Guaridan Angels with the guidance of their teacher Tina O'Keefe organised this year's exciting event for over 100 students from across the Brisbane Archdioceses.

2007 marks "The Year of the Lifesaver" and the concept for the Breakouts at this year's Kids Connect, Gold Coast. The location for Kids Connect, Gold Coast was Surfers Paradise Surf Lifesaving Club - the weather perfect which allowed groups to work outside and on beautiful Main Beach.

MAC1 Professional Learning Facilitators were involved as Breakout Presenters teaching students and facilitating the creation of Docudramas and Podscasts with the central theme of Beach Safety. The students were so engaged with the projects and proud of the work they produced many mentioning they wished school was like Kids Connect!
